Running a distributed virtual observatory: US Virtual Astronomical Observatory operations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Operation of the US Virtual Astronomical Observatory shares some issues with modern physical observatories, e.g., intimidating data volumes and rapid technological change, and must also address unique concerns like the lack of direct control of the underlying and scattered data resources, and the distributed nature of the observatory itself.
